Whale Strands Again After Rescue
A humpback whale got stuck in the Baltic Sea, Germany. Rescuers freed it earlier this week.
But the whale stranded again within two days. It was found on a sandbank in the Bay of Wismar, Germany.
Klear Note — Humpback whales sometimes get confused in shallow waters. They need deep ocean to survive and navigate properly.
